Accidents at Woodland.

Two accidents happened at WOODLAND
few days ago. George Rupp, while as
sisting another man to take down some
dried meat from the hooks near the ceiling
in butcher-shop, was directly in the way
of big knife, which fell from the hand:
of his companion, who was above him or
a step-ladder. The point of the knife pen
etrated his right foot, severing an artery
which will lay him up for some time
Rupp but recently recovered from broken
leg. Fortunately, in both instances, ht
has the financial comfort of an accident
policy. Charles Hooker, while intoxica
ted, slipped as he stepped out of the door
way of drugstore and broke his leg be
tween the knee and ankle. 1t was plain
fracture. but he is well advanced in years
is almost worn out through the excessive
use of alcohol, and it is feared the bone
will not knit sufficiently to enable him tC
use the leg again.

within the province of the Legislature to
50 legislate as to put upon him undue
burdens, render his possessions unde-
sirable, and check the advance the city
may be making. The Legislators may be
ever so honest and DESTROYS of conserving
the good of the city, but only few of
them can feel any deep interest in it, and
fewer still will concern themselves about
purely local matters. The rural members
generally entertain the idea that cities are
incompetent to govern themselves, while a
few are disposed to look upon all legisla-
ton in behalf of city as something to
excite suspicion and worthy of opposition.
Under charter made by the citizens there
will be better government, for the people
being thus made directly responsible for
the local laws, will be more diligent in Sc
curing just and needed enactments and in
enforcing obedience of them. However
viewed the amendment presents itself
strongly. The people ought to vote for it
unanimously.

In innumerable magazines and reviews
writers at the East have dwelt upon the
docility of the Chinese and their desir-
ability as servants. But within a few
years we have had half dozen cases in
California wherein Chinese servants have
butchered families in whole or in part,
with whom they have lived with for years,
and by whom they had been treated
kindly. The latest instance is that of the
st. John tragedy. In that case, as in all
the others, there appears to have been
absence of any motive, unless such slight
rebuke as a housewife may at any time
administer to a domestic is taken into
account. The Chinese do not set high
value upon life the restraining influence
of fear is greater with them than the
moral sense of wrong. In every case
referred to, notably that in Oakland few
years ago, that in Sonoma county more
recently, and now that at St john the de-
pravity of the murderers has been of the
most horrible character, and there has
been absent any evidence of the sense of
pity or mercy, or of the awfulness of the
crime of murder. When the number
serving is taken into account, the Chinese
commit tenfold more crimes against en-
ployers than any other class of employees,
and this very element of untrustworthi-
ness is so notorious factor in their en-
ployment, that there is not infrequently
taken into the financial estimate of the
economy of employing them, the probable
loss to ensue by pilfering.

THE man Kissane, concerning whom
there has been considerable news published
recently, is said to be a resident of So
noma county, bearing the name of w. K.
Rogers, man of wealth and prominent
social position. This much our dispatches
stated several days ago, and that there are
laid at his door numerous crimes. For
one of these an attorney moved New
York Court, the other day, to enter an
order Diminishing the Indictment, on the
ground of its extreme age. The motion
was opposed by those who say they were
greatly injured by Kissane, but they have
expressed willingness to withdraw their
objections if Kissane will make them
whole with money, and the disposition of
the law officers at New York appears to be
to dismiss the case. The only energy that
the news discloses as having been dis
played about this person, has been directed
towards making him disgorge. Not a
word has been dispatched indicating any
disposition on the part of the injured or
the representatives of the law at the East
to punish him for violations of the statutes,
which he is said to have repeatedly and
grossly outraged. There appears also, by
the dispatches, to be considerable confusion
and contradiction as to what offenses there
are for which the man may be yet held
amenable to the law, his friends, it is
said, claiming that on some of the charges
he has been acquitted, while admitting
that on the New York Indictment at least,
he might be brought to trial. So the really
strange thing about the matter is the fail
ure to make any attempt to bring the man
to the bar Of a criminal Court, while those
charging him are solicitious to have him
make money reparation. If he is guilty,
and unaequitted of the crimes alleged
with such particularly, and his where
abouts and identity have been so long
known, why is it that the officers
of the law at the East and those
who should be personally interested
in bringing him to justice, have
not done so? Certainly the Eastern Courts
and officials have had the power to take
the man at any time. One person who
claims to have been injured by crimes
charged against Kissane, says he has been
in the State eight months seeking to bring
him to terms, but thus far without success.
1t seems, therefore, that the effort to secure
restitution and recompense has subordina-
ted the duty to set the officers of the law
upon the man. If half that has been tele-
graphed to us of the misdeeds of them man and
ofenses against the law for which it is
SAID he may yet be tried, why has he not
been brought to judgment, regardless of his
wealth, the years that have interviewed,
and the apparent willingness to shield
him if he will settle upon financial basis ?
